Tough Topics: Best Friends, Worse friends, old friends, new friends, lost friends, false friends, and true friends.
I’m sure you have heard of the Chicken soup books. These books are about Teenagers who tell their stories. Every Chicken soup book has its own topic. I decided to read about friends. In this book there are no main characters. Yes, in the short stories, but not in the entire book. Each story is from different teenage boys and girls. There are different settings and conflicts and resolutions. All these stories have one thing incommon: Friends. My favorite short story is titled For Her Own Good. It was about two friends. Callie had a boyfriend, who did not respect her. The other friend shows her what she is doing, and that she is too young to be doing the nasty. And Callie’s friend basically points her in a better direction. My least favorite are the poems. I mean, I like poems but with so long ones they lose their touch. I think teenagers should read this book. Especially teens who have problems. Since these stories are by teen for teens, you can other kids might be in the same situation. Then you won’t fell like the only one, it’s normal. Teenage boys and girls should read these books. I would give this book a 5. It’s very interesting seeing all these teens who have such problems. Once a teen reads it they are going to learn from the experiences in the book.
